Yesaia 11
1 Dua foforo bi befifi wɔ Yisai dunsin ho; efi ne ntin mu na Dubaa bi bɛsow aba.
And a Rod has come out from the stock of Jesse, And a Branch is fruitful from his roots.
2 Awurade Honhom bɛtena ne so, nyansa ne ntease Honhom, afotu ne tumi Honhom, nimdeɛ ne Awurade suro Honhom,
The Spirit of YHWH has rested on Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and fear of YHWH.
3 Na nʼani begye wɔ Awurade suro mu. Ɛnyɛ nea ɔde nʼani hu so na obegyina abu atɛn, anaa nea ɔde nʼaso bɛte so na obegyina asi gyinae;
To refresh Him in the fear of YHWH, And He does not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decides by the hearing of His ears.
4 na mmom ɔde trenee bebu mmɔborɔfo atɛn, ɔde atɛntrenee besi gyinae ama asase so ahiafo. Ɔde nʼano abaa na ɛbɛbɔ asase; ɔde nʼanofafa home bekunkum amumɔyɛfo.
And He has judged the poor in righteousness, And decided for the humble of earth in uprightness, And has struck earth with the rod of His mouth, And He puts the wicked to death with the breath of His lips.
5 Trenee bɛyɛ nʼabɔso na nokwaredi ayɛ nʼabɔso.
And righteousness has been the girdle of His loins, And faithfulness—the girdle of His reins.
6 Pataku ne oguamma bɛtena, ɔsebɔ ne abirekyi bɛda, nantwi ba ne gyata ne ne ba bɛbɔ mu; na abofra ketewa bi adi wɔn anim.
“And a wolf has sojourned with a lamb, And a leopard lies down with a kid, And calf, and young lion, and fatling [are] together, And a little youth is leader over them.
7 Nantwi ne sisi bɛbɔ mu adidi, wɔn mma bɛdeda faako, na gyata bɛwe wura te sɛ nantwi.
And cow and bear feed, Together their young ones lie down, And a lion eats straw as an ox.
8 Akokoaa bedi agoru abɛn ɔprammiri amoa ano, na abofra ketewa de ne nsa ahyɛ ahurutoa bon mu.
And a suckling has played by the hole of a cobra, And on the den of a viper The weaned one has put his hand.
9 Wɔrenyɛ obi bɔne na wɔrensɛe ade wɔ me bepɔw Kronkron nyinaa so, na Awurade ho nimdeɛ bɛyɛ asase so ma sɛnea nsu ayɛ po ma no.
They do no evil, nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth has been full with the knowledge of YHWH, As the waters are covering the sea.”
10 Na da no, Yisai aseni bɛsɔre; nea ɔbɛsɔre abedi aman aman no so; ɔno na wɔn ani bɛda ne so, na nʼahomegyebea benya anuonyam.
And there has been, in that day, A Root of Jesse that is standing for an ensign of peoples, Nations seek Him, And His rest has been glorious!
11 Saa da no, Awurade bɛma ne nsa so ne mprenu so de agye ne nkurɔfo a wɔaka afi Asiria, Misraim anafo fam, Misraim atifi fam, Kus, Elam, Babilonia, Hamat ne Po so asupɔw.
And it has come to pass in that day, The Lord adds His power a second time, To get the remnant of His people that is left, From Asshur, and from Egypt, And from Pathros, and from Cush, And from Elam, and from Shinar, And from Hamath, and from islands of the sea,
12 Ɔbɛma frankaa so ama aman no na wɔaboaboa Israelfo a wɔatwa wɔn asu no ano; Ɔbɛboaboa Yudafo a wɔahwete no ano afi asase ntwea anan no so.
And He has lifted up an ensign to nations, And gathers the driven away of Israel, And He assembles the scattered of Judah, From the four wings of the earth.
13 Efraim anibere betu ayera, na wɔbɛsɛe Yuda atamfo. Efraim ani remmere Yuda bio, na Yuda nso rentan Efraim ani.
And has turned aside the envy of Ephraim, And the adversaries of Judah are cut off, Ephraim does not envy Judah, And Judah does not distress Ephraim.
14 Wobetwiw afa Filistia asiansian ahorow no so akɔ atɔe fam; na wɔbɛbɔ mu afow nnipa akɔ apuei fam. Wɔbɛfa Edom ne Moab, na Amonfo bɛhyɛ wɔn ase.
And they have flown on the shoulder of the Philistines westward, Together they spoil the sons of the east, Edom and Moab sending forth their hand, And sons of Ammon obeying them.
15 Awurade bɛma nsu a ɛwɔ Misraim Po no mu ayow korakora; ɔbɛma ne nsa mu mframa a mu yɛ hyew abɔ afa Asubɔnten Eufrate so. Ɔbɛpaapae mu ayɛ no nsuwansuwa ason sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a obiara betumi ahyɛ mpaboa atwa.
And YHWH has devoted to destruction The tongue of the Sea of Egypt, And has waved His hand over the river, In the terror of His wind, And has struck it at the seven streams, And has caused [men] to tread [it] with shoes.
16 Ɔtempɔn bi bɛda hɔ ama ne nkurɔfo nkae a wɔaka Asiria, sɛnea bi daa hɔ maa Israel bere a wofi Misraim bae no.
And there has been a highway, For the remnant of His people that is left, from Asshur, As there was for Israel in the day of his coming up out of the land of Egypt!
